A urological working place is provided that can include a U-bow with an x-ray source arranged at one end and an image processing device arranged at the other end, wherein the image processing device cooperates with the x-ray source. An examination table is releasably secured to the U-bow and replaceable by an alternate examination table that is independent of the movements of the U-bow. The x-ray source and the image processing device are displaceable relative to the U-bow individually and synchronously in a transverse direction, and the U-bow is supported in a lower area thereof so that it is tiltable in the longitudinal direction of the examination table.

The urological working place of claim 2, further comprising a circularly bent guide segment on the U-bow, for reliably positioning a therapy head of the lithotripter, the therapy head having a center located on a tilting axis of the U-bow, wherein when the U-bow is tilted about the tilting axis, the therapy head can be retained at an original position by a support that is independent of the movements of the U-bow. 4. The urological working place of claim 2, wherein the U-bow is tiltable in a defined angle, and wherein the x-ray unit is displaceable on the U-bow by a defined length and in a defined direction. 5. The urological working place of claim 2, wherein a support plate of the alternate examination table comprises a lateral recess to allow unhindered use of a therapy head in conjunction with the U-bow. 6. The urological working place of claim 2, wherein the alternate examination table is vertically adjustable. 7. The urological working place of claim 2, wherein the x-ray source is arranged at an upper end of the U-bow, and wherein the image processing device is arranged at a lower end of the U-bow. 8. The urological working place of claim 1, further comprising a circularly bent guide segment on the U-bow, for reliably positioning a therapy head of a lithotripter, the therapy head having a center located on a tilting axis of the U-bow, wherein when the U-bow is tilted about the tilting axis, the therapy head can be retained at an original position by a support that is independent of the movements of the U-bow. 9. The urological working place of claim 8, wherein the U-bow is tiltable in a defined angle, and wherein the x-ray unit is displaceable on the U-bow by a defined length and in a defined direction. 10. The urological working place of claim 8, wherein a support plate of the alternate examination table comprises a lateral recess to allow unhindered use of a therapy head in conjunction with the U-bow. 11. The urological working place of claim 8, wherein the alternate examination table is vertically adjustable. 12.
